heavy rain is likely with strong winds to blow from the west over the island

In the Habagat season hotels offer lower rates for their accommodations in
Boracay. On the other hand, the North-East monsoon Amihan. It occurs from
December to May and is dominated by little to moderate rainfall, rain showers or no
rain. This is the peak season in Boracay.

The Philippines are considered as one of the countries that will be most affected by the
impacts of climate change. About 20 typhoons, tropical cyclones (bagyos) move across the
Philippine archipelago on an annual average - with a rising tendency. These typhoons can
reach wind speeds of more than 250 km/h. Typhoons are particularly common during the
rainy season, which normally lasts from June to the end of October. But they may occur
sporadically until the month of January. Accompanying by typhoons are very heavy
precipitation, sometimes resulting in flooding and landslides. Often this leads to
nationwide disruptions in public service and flight cancellations.
